AAXA Updates Their L1 Laser Pico Projector

We only just posted our review of AAXA Technologies’ L1 Laser Pico Projector back in July, but already the company is introducing a 2nd version. If you missed our review of the V1, we pretty much summed it up as being the pico projector to beat not only because the laser light source produced vibrant, saturated colors, but the image was always in focus so you never had to worry about adjusting some wheel or slider every time you moved it.

Now the V2 doesn’t do much to improve the V1 when it comes to tech specs, it still kicks out 20 lumens at a resolution of 800×600, but the company has apparently improved the “thermal efficiency of the PCOS laser light engine.” On one hand it unfortunately means the L1 V2 is actually just a bit thicker than its predecessor, but on the other it also results in a price drop of $200 since the V2 now sells for $399.99, compared to the $599.99 price tag of the V1. Still not exactly an impulse buy, but it’s nice to see how quickly the prices are dropping with this technology.
